Millennium
Place has laid out on the ground all time zones of the world. This is best
seen at night when the zones are illuminated. Above is a flying walkway cantilevering
out over the space. On the right is the Transport Museum celebrating
Coventry's long history as a manufacturer of motor vehicles. This
was continued during the war. Its factories turned out other munitions and
aircraft. The looping aluminum ribbon seen on the left represents an
aircraft wing as a reminder of Coventry's association with the aircraft industry
and with Frank Whittle the inventor of the jet engine

And the same place at night. The
time zone boundaries swept past like a wave which is evident from this
photograph.
